DICOM UIDs

Dicom requires unique identifiers for in various locations. This section summarizes the ones used here.

SOP Class UIDs

This identifies the IOD, which in our case is static, and should be the UID of the VL Image IOD.

• Part 4 B.5

Instance UID

A different unique ID for each image. Needs to be freshly generated.

• Part 5 B.2 specifies how to generate

Implementation Class UID

A unique ID for the software. DICOM probably requires a different one for each version of the software.

_Different equipment of the same type or product line (but having different serial numbers) shall use the same Implementation Class UID if they share the same implementation environment (i.e., software)._

• Part 7 D.3.3.2
